My daughter swims on the local swim team and I keep telling her she needs to try water polo.

The word is if your female and play water polo your almost guaranteed a college scholarship.

One of my partner's son is assist. coach on the men's Olympic team ( Silver Metal thank you very much) and it is the roughest sport played without any type of protection out there.  He told me that the girls are the dirtiest players too.  When they play the guys they grab "everything", pull off the guy's trunks, kick and scratch, worse ( or better if you're so inclined) than mud wrestling.

i played for 4 years in high school.  and you could always tell when we had a game because the next day we always had bruises and cuts.  i was knocked out one time bc i took a ball to the head.  the goalie later said thanks bc if my head hadent gotten in the way he couldnt have blocked it.
